A content personalization platform for every story you publish

Readers follow different topics, open the app at different times and use different devices. Pushwoosh sends each story to the readers who follow it, on the channel they actually use.

Deliver breaking news in minutes

Send to millions of devices at once, straight from your CMS through the API. GB News sends 12 million pushes a day this way.

Grow web push subscribers without the app

Ask for permission with a bell button or a custom prompt after a reader has read a story, not on the first page load.

Put the photo in the notification

Attach images on iOS, Android and web, GIFs on Android, and video or audio on iOS. The picture often does more than the headline.

Refresh the feed in the background

A silent push tells the app to update stories or episodes in the background, without showing anything to the reader.

Keep alerts for readers who turned push off

Save weather warnings, live updates and important stories in an in-app inbox, with or without a push.

Show live scores on the lock screen

A Live Activity shows the score and key moments on the iOS lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, so fans follow the game without opening the app.

Reach Android readers without Google services

Huawei phones without Google Play services and Amazon Fire devices get the same push from the same campaign.

Newsletters and headline tests on the same platform

Fill newsletters from your RSS feed

Connect an RSS or Atom feed, and the latest articles fill the News block in email and the news feed preset in push at the moment you send. The feature is in beta.

Let the best headline win on its own

Write two or more push headlines, and the journey sends more and more traffic to the one readers open most. There's no fixed test window to wait out.

One media marketing automation platform, from first visit to paying subscriber

Pushwoosh works with the whole reader lifecycle, offering publishers various channels and tools that fit each step best. Every message is based on the same customer profile.

Grow

Turn site visitors into web push subscribers with push permission prompts, and collect newsletter sign-ups by email in the customer journey builder.

Deliver

Send breaking news by mobile push straight from your CMS through the API, and reach Huawei and Amazon devices with alt-store push.

Engage

Send stories by topic with advanced segmentation, keep alerts in the Message Inbox, personalize the daily digest with dynamic content and alert readers in their own language.

Measure

See which alerts bring readers back in analytics.

Why newsrooms pick Pushwoosh as their audience engagement platform

Speed at newsroom scale

These personalized alerts average a 2.6–4.9% CTR.

Editorial and growth share one channel without burning it

Frequency capping limits how many marketing messages a reader gets across all campaigns. Breaking news goes out through a journey step set to bypass the cap, so promos hit the limit first. On Android, notification channels let readers mute promos and keep breaking news. Once a reader turns alerts off, push can’t reach them anymore, so we treat these limits as part of the newsroom’s job.

One reader across app, browser and inbox

Mobile push, web push, email and the in-app inbox run on one reader profile. A reader who unsubscribes from push in the app can still get the story on the web or in the inbox.

Frequently asked questions

There's no single winner, because a broadcaster and a niche sports site need different things. Check four points: delivery speed at peak, web push opt-in tools, frequency limits that protect breaking news, and one reader profile across app, web and email. Pushwoosh covers all four in one platform.
